Snakeoil is a specialised OS with a custom built kernel. This means even though Linux can support almost all audio devices known to history (from the very old to the very latest), that support has been stripped off to a very small subset. It's not ideal to build a OS that will support 1000 devices when all you need is just 1. The following is a list of DACs and digital interfaces tested to work with Snakeoil, and any special instructions if needed. Obviously this is not a exhaustive list, would appreciate your feedback on what DACs work so I can update this.

If you have a audio device or DAC that is not in this list, please create a support request thread to have your audio device added.

Our mission is to create a free to use computer OS that is easy to install, intuitive to operate and play music that will connect and engage with you emotionally.

SnakeoilOS gives you the freedom to spend more time on listening, enjoying and exploring music. Wasting time on computers is now a thing of the past! Everything is constantly evolving/improving. Please check back often for updates.
